PLAY!: act 1, scene 3

I asked for some suggestions from you PLAYmates, and you were more than helpful. One of the suggestions that really appealed to me was making "wonky" log cabin blocks. I started by cutting lots of strips

and then began with an irregular 5-sided shape

From there, I just started adding strips

trimming as I went

kinda looks like a house, doesn't it?

et, voila...my first freehand scrap block!

I know, it seems a little silly to get excited by this, but it was fun to just grab and sew, not caring about the end result... I'm excited to try another one!
